| TfL has formed Places for London a property company to develop this landbank and over 1,000 homes have been built with over 3,000 under construction. Much of those are not in east London but very close to here with a massive development due to begin along Bollo Lane and another huge scheme between Acton Town station and Ealing Common. However, these schemes do appear to have stalled as they were proposed some years ago and, in some cases have planning permission. I can't tell you why this is but you will be aware it is not just TFL schemes that find themselves in this position. It could be like others there is a rethink due to the requirement for a second staircase core or a lack of demand for the affordable units from Housing Associations. If you have more insight and can explain why TfL has specific problems which are the fault of Sir Sadiq, that would be interesting to hear. Otherwise, it is probably best to assume that his housebuilding targets are being missed due to issues that are affecting all property development across London. |
